To celebrate Allyson's first Thanksgiving we packed up everyone (baby, dog and injured Karl) and headed to Oshkosh. Karl's parents went on a cruise over the holiday so we went to visit my family and spend some time there. It was quite the chore to get everything packed and the car loaded but once we finally got on the road, everything went fairly well. Both Ally and Ella slept almost the whole way- Ella riding shotgun and me and Ally in the back. We enjoyed our first Thanksgiving meal of the day with Grandma Sandy, Grandpa Paul, Aunt Judy, dad and Patty then we headed over to Aunt Kelly's for Thanksgiving meal #2 with the other side of the family. Ally was loved by everyone and Ella got to spend time running around with Jake in a big fenced in yard at Kelly's. Karl was able to get a walking boot right before we left and has learned how to use it enough so he doesn't have to use the walker. He is still in some pain and his staples look pretty nasty but its healing well and he was able to get around easily while we were away. We were able to spend almost a week there so Ally could have lots of time with the family to show off how much she has grown. We visited the outlet mall, went to brunch at Robbins (were Ally decided to fill her entire diaper and outfit with poop, requiring an immediate wardrobe change and lots of laundry when we got back to dad's house) and just relaxed. Ally was given this bib as a gift to celebrate her first Thanksgiving so we had to show it off during dinner.
